The picture was taken during the traffic congestion on the route that was caused by a fallen tree, which had been hit by a truck near the military gate of the service road near Ibbalur on the Outer Ring Road.

Imagine the pressure if she has to work on a damn motorbike
How insensitive are the employers
But if she is late due to her own accord then she is to be blamed— its just me (@Donteatmyfood1) May 16, 2023
Everything was fine with WFH but no the companies had to have the upper hand and keep employees subjugated

Imagine the pressure, the feeling of lost in your own city where you work 10+hours a day, the disdain. All she required was a smooth traffic-less road where she could commute peacefully from her home and not account for the "extra" hour it takes to commute through a 5KM stretch
